Summary
Kevin Gibbs is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 14 years of experience building large-scale cloud and collaboration platforms and a track record of turning engineering excellence into commercial success. He co-founded Quip, led its engineering and core sync/Editor technologies, scaled the team through acquisition by Salesforce, and later ran Quip as EVP & CEO inside Salesforce growing it to a $100M+ run rate. At Google he created App Engine and contributed to foundational systems like Borg and Google Suggest, blending deep distributed-systems expertise with product-level judgement. Now as CEO and co-founder of Terraton Industrial he’s applying pragmatic software-first thinking to scale carbon dioxide removal via the first Carbon ERP—making CDR accessible and profitable rather than speculative. Based in San Francisco with an MS and BS in Computer Science from Stanford, he combines hands-on technical chops with executive experience across startups and hyperscale platforms. An unspoken throughline in his career is turning operational plumbing—deployment, sync, and workflows—into defensible product advantages that scale.
